yconic is the place where you can give and get the help you need for your life as a student. To help keep our community an enjoyable, helpful and safe place for all members, please adhere to the following guidelines.

1. Be nice to people. It's okay to provide constructive criticism, but there is no need to insult other members. For example, "X major is over-saturated right now. You might have trouble finding a job" is fine. "Your major is dumb. Have fun working in fast food," is not helpful nor appropriate.

2. Ask actual questions. If you're looking for help with something, titling a thread "HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO" isn't going to appeal to the members that may be best suited to help you. Be specific and title your post with relevant information.

3. Don't abuse the anonymous feature by pretending to be multiple people. Surprise, surprise, we know who posts what :)

4. Please only tag relevant interests when you create a new thread. Adding unrelated interests is unlikely to get you the help you're looking for and can frustrate other members.

5. Avoid spamming. This includes replying to your own thread for the sole purpose of moving it up the discussion feed.

UWO - Saugeen rez?

Hey guys, so I've been wondering a lot about the Saugeen residence at the University of Western Ontario. I've been reading a lot about it, and basically found that it's reputation as "party central" are somewhat exaggerated. I also heard that because there are so many people in the building, the food quality is much higher than the other residences.

Can anyone tell me from experience what some of the major drawbacks to Saugeen are? I don't plan on partying every night, but I do want to occasionally...should I not select a quiet floor because of this? Really, any info you can give about your experience at Saugeen would help a lot...I feel almost guilty wanting it as my top choice after seeing so many people cry after learning they got put into it.

Hey! I'm a residence tour guide this year and I've been around the residences. I can tell you that regardless of which rez you get put in, you'll end up loving it. Sure some people say that Saugeen is really trashy since the halls are always dirty, but I live in Elgin and I can tell you that many people's suites aren't any cleaner. Elgin is a great place, but sometimes I wish I was in Saugeen too!

I lived in Saugeen this year and LOVED it - it was my fourth choice, (after all the other traditional residences and before the suites), and originally I was depressed that I was in "the worst residence", but I was sadly mistaken. Saugeen is amazing too - we're a 1250-person family, and you just can't understand Saugeen unless you've lived there!

Also, I lived on a quiet floor - my floor was not antisocial at all! In fact, five of us are sophs next year (that's a lot, just trust me on that one), and we consistently got noise complaints from the floor just below us. By the same token, I was on a Varsity sports team this year and had to wake up at 5:20 for practices, so I really appreciated being able to come home to a respectful floor. :)
